Hello and welcome to my channel :) I'm Logan, and in April 2024, I purchased a 1988 Chevrolet G30 Sport Van that had been partially converted by its previous owners. My videos showcase the process of personalizing the van and embarking on adventures across New England and beyond with my cattle dog, Nova!

Solo car camping // mishaps, mud, and a fear of bears, oh my
My van (which is currently housing all of my camping gear) is at the mechanic this week, so Nova and I's latest camping trip consisted of a backpacking stove, a 4-person tent, and a slight fear of bears.

In April 2024 I bought this 1988 Chevrolet G30 Sport Van, already partially converted by previous owners. After a few small modifications, it was ready to hit the road! Follow along as I continue to build out the van into the perfect weekender cabin on wheels (and work on my fear of bears, lol).

My VAN LIFE story (so far)
Переглядів 6 тис.Місяць тому
This week, van life will step to the side. I've been prioritizing travel over repairs, and it is finally time to send my beloved blue van into the shop. But, before she goes to the mechanic, she gets some last-minute design improvements while I reminisce on my van journey so far.

Back to the mountains

This weekend, Nova and I packed up the van and headed back into the mountains! To break up the drive, we stayed overnight in the driveway of my good friend Emily, and we all hit the road early the next morning. After hiking about 4.8 miles, we summited Mount Cabot, making a 9.5 mile round trip. Emily and I parted ways, and I headed for the river. After making a quick lunch and relaxing in the h...

Our first official weekend taking out the van! In this video, my dog Nova and I found a secluded campsite in the White Mountains National Forest and set up camp for the night. The next day, we hiked 10 miles up Mount Garfield to enjoy a beautiful view of the Pemigewasset Wilderness.

This is great job
I have a wishlist on amazon with items that can really benefit you in your van life journey. It's for a chevy van. That's why I clicked this video becasue I wanted to see what you were doing with yours.🙂
weekender !
Healer Pup, I miss mine.

Love ❤️ your fur baby 🐶
Nice vintage van! Do you carry bear spray on your walks through the woods?
Thanks for sharing!
Keep on doing your thing Logan! You got this!
Thank you 😁
Love your Van... A Good life Friend
New channel here. In the process of making more videos got some cat videos up and one of my other half snowboarding back in the 90s that he doesn't do any more. Love the van you got a lot of work to put into it but it'll be worth it in the end according to my other half. Everything comes a time in moderation. Liked subscribed. We live in the Pacific Northwest as well up here in Washington close to the Canadian border up near Mount Baker. Hope to see more videos and a build out of the van remember pallet wood is free and you can use it break it apart and use it sand it down.
Amazing pls more mud content
Awesome Chevy van,like the video very much
WOW 100 POUR 100 PARFAIT
Talking about fears while camping, especially in a remote spot, is SO real! I wish more people talked about this because my first time dispersed camping was terrifying-I jumped at every sound. Honestly, though, I'm more scared of running into another person than wildlife lol. By the way, I highly recommend Napier Sportz SUV Tent. I have the 84000 Model, and it makes me feel way more secure. You can sleep in your car and have a whole tent setup, plus if you get scared in the middle of the night, you can just close the back door. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it!
thanks for the recommendation! I will have to check them out. And I love to hear I'm not alone in these fears! People or bears... I just hope they all keep their distance lol!
It seems pretty odd that it looks like you're driving on the opposite side of the road in a right-had drive vehicle, but you were actually filming with the front-facing camera on your phone, which is making it look backwards! Hopefully, you'll be able to have these clips flipped!
Cool video, looks like you have a Queensland healer so you must be a good person. Have a great day
"Lunch" 😂 had me rolling for some reason. Great video, keep it up!
@@loganbyington8675 haha a simple line for a simple lunch!! Thanks!
Just wondering how many miles are on your van? Mine is also the Chevy chassis and just rolled over 100k. Nova is a beautiful girl. Stay safe ✌️
@@Vanlifery I think it’s around 96k right now! I’m not too far behind yours! Thank you :) safe travels!
Gonna be a lot of fun. I need a bed that is always made up and ready to go, wastes a ton of space, LOL
@@cabracove honestly if my van was a blank slate I think I would do the same thing! The previous owners built the van in this set up, and the electrical system is inside the benches so there’s not much I can change without seriously reworking everything!
@@loganrosemccarthy Understand. It's not worth it at this point. I have a 4x5 aluminum slide under the bed, but all that space is only accessible from the back. The upside is I can carry a ton of water and firewood. The downside is having my electrical system in the front wastes even more space. I'm mostly happy with it though. Putting a hi-top on it gained a lot of upper storage I still need to build, LOL Safe travels.
What a fun video! Glad to see others camping and living in their vans on the East Coast!
@craigmorton321 thank you 😁 the east coast is so underrated in my opinion!
Brave lady. Bears would scare me. Sweet and lucky dog. Safe travels.❤
Pro tip: During the day cover your cooler with a sleeping bag, the ice will last a lot longer. How old is Nova, the mellowest heeler I've ever seen.
Ooo great idea! I actually just bought a 12V fridge that I’m hoping I can show off in my next video 🫣 So I might not need a cooler for much longer! Nova is turning 3 next month. Camping makes her a little nervous sometimes because of its unpredictability; you get to see some of her crazy side in my newest video! She’s definitely likes her creature comforts haha
I think I'm gonna like following you. Good cinematography and editing and most importantly you tell a good story well.
Thanks! It’s hard to tell how others will interpret your work, so I’m glad to hear your thoughts :)
Great video! I love your pup! He’s adorable!
Very well narrated
@@SprintSprite-jj2db thank you :)
Hi hello I like ur videos I hope I could exp that kind of happiness
Nice dog
Growing up, my dad had the exact same blue Chevy sport van as you. So many little things that I see in your videos that brings back a flood of memories to me, like the door pulls, the steering wheel, the center console, the little wings to flip the rear windows open, the handles to open the front windows, all the little details. I grew up camping in it in NH on the weekends. It’s so nostalgic to me. Thank you for sharing 🥲
@@chrispoplawski9286 no way! Those sound like sweet memories and it makes me happy that this video brought them back!! I hope to have as many fun adventures in my van as it sounds like you guys did in yours :)
@@loganrosemccarthy looks like you’re on the right track! Keep the videos coming, highly enjoying them
Just subscribed. Enjoyed this peaceful video.
Your simple setup is wonderfully refreshing.
@mycocoaone thanks for your kind comments :) I am glad you enjoyed!!
Super women.
my dream ❤
How do these newer Volkswagens do? Are they money pits or prettily realiable? I ask cause there’s a beautiful one for sale by me & im looking for one right now. But don’t know much about them? If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks and dosage travels.
I only rented the VW van for about a week, so I can’t speak to its long term reliability. In the short term it was great! I recommend bringing the van near you to a trusted mechanic to get their opinion. Best of luck :)
New subscriber here. I look forward to following your journey.
@locd4life707 Hi! Thank you for subscribing :) I am glad you enjoyed the vide

I'll be getting my van Thursday 😬 I'll be permanently on the road in October and I'm scared and freaking excited
@@TiZGaming that is so exciting!! What kind of van are you getting?
@loganrosemccarthy I am getting a 1999 ford e250. This week has been a crazy realization that its actually happening

Best yet! So, so great.

So cute ! A blue van is way better than a white one..my daughter is building out a medium sized school bus .. she’s almost done then driving here to visit. No place like Oregon to visit ❤
